OK..the rear drum assy I got from you, The speedo drive I got at W&W here in Wurzburg, the backing plate is a repo that I got in the USA..

The ill fit only pops up when trying to install the drive unit, it does not seem to want to mesh smoothly, and when I did rotate the wheel...that's when the drive gear on the drive unit got buggered up..the gear on the rear drum is still OK..but I want to take a Dremel and make sure that all of the paint is cleaned off the gear before I try it again.

And now I have to replace the plastic gear on the drive unit..any tips??

P.T. Barnum is not dead - he's been re-incarnated as Tedd. "There's a sucker born every minute".

As long as the number of complaints etc. does not exceed the volume of new business, they'll still sell the worst possible crap. After the problems I had with Tedd 20 years ago, I would have guessed someone would have shot him by now.
